What is the premise of The Language of Love?
Quite simply, The Language of Love is an all-new reality dating series that sees a group of Brits and a group of Spaniards pairing up at a dreamy Spanish country estate and attempt to forge a connection despite not speaking each other's language.
Will the singletons succeed and manage to get past the language barrier?
As host Davina McCall explained to Channel 4: "The idea of the show poses the question is it possible to find love just through body language and instinct and intuition and a vibe off someone."
At the end of the series, the international lovers will face a big dilemma: to call it quits, stay together long distance, or perhaps move to a new country to be with their newfound love.

Who hosts The Language of Love?
Joining Davina, whose presenting career has spanned more than two decades, on the show is Ricky Merino. While Ricky may be a new face to UK audiences, the Majorca-born actor and singer has been a household name in Spain ever since he appeared on The X-Factor style talent show Operación Triunfo.
